    Strange that in the States you'll get hauled in for wearing an unconcealed 7.5 inch knife, but in many places you can carry a semi-auto pistol legally. Here in Canuckistan, its the reverse. I can legally carry a sword around if I choose, but forget a handgun.

    David,

    Wouldn't the simple solution be to check with your local police?

    I wear a fake sgian dubh most times I'm out and about, and save the nice oxhorn real* one I bought from the Scottish Tartan Museum for dress up occassions. That way I don't ever have to worry about it. Truth be told I think hardly anyone ever even notices the handle's presence be it knife or bottle cap opener.

    Cheers

    I appreciate that but when it comes to Feta, I shoot first and ask questions afterwards.

    OK. This thread is getting pretty cheesy and it's starting to stink.

    I hope the Swiss does not take offense to the holes in this thread!

    Most states require a permit, testing, et cetera for carrying a concealed weapon/gun. In fact, there is only one state that doesn't require a permit.

    FWIW, the Sikh religion requires that their men carry a kirpan, to be used only for defending oneself, or defending those who cannot defend themselves. There were incidents involving Sikhs and their kirpan after Sept. 11. I've not heard of any recently.
